Creating Meeting Workspace in SharePoint 2010 from outlook 2010

With Outlook 2010, we can create meeting workspace inside SharePoint 2010 or Windows Foundation Server 2010.

In this post, I am going to show you how we can create this workspace.

First open outlook 2010 and click on create meeting.

Type the address of person, time of meeting, subject, location and a body of meeting.

From top menu, click on arrow and then click on more commands.

Find meeting workspace and add it to right and click on ok.

Then you will find an icon appeared on top bar.

Click on that icon and you will see meeting workspace task pane on right side.

Now click on change settings.

Select other from the drop down and it will ask you for a URL.

Type the URL of the parent site under which you would like to create a meeting workspace.

Click on ok twice and then click on create.

The best part is it will create the meeting workspace behind the scene and get the URL of the newly created meeting workspace right there in your outlook message with nice highlited box.

Same steps you can perform in MOSS 2007 and Outlook 2007. I hope this will help.
